Budesonide is great for me, no side effects! Hope you get everything sorted out soon!

I may be weird, but it makes me kind of Hulk out. It’s not my favorite! If you’ve gained a bit of weight but you haven’t bitten anyone’s head off, I’d call that a win! 🤣

Going on prednisone was my biggest fear when I was diagnosed. I’ve taken enough for asthma to know that it makes me crazy (or crazier, I guess, but not in a fun zany way - in a scary, screamy way).

I was diagnosed with intrahepatic cholestasis when I was pregnant with my second, and years later dx’d with AIH. I wonder if my first flare was during that pregnancy and I was misdiagnosed. Thanks for sharing this!

There are other drugs - I am on Budesonide and Sirolimus. Don’t accept prednisone as the final answer. It sucks!!

Agnostic here, and I can look at a body without being controlled by lust. Religion isn’t necessary to self-control or morality. In fact, often religion corrupts morality and excuses a lack of self-control by making women cover up rather than insisting men control themselves for example.

To be fair, every last one of us had at least one pair of friends named Mike and Josh who made questionable choices in the 90s.

The song Keep Marching from Suffs. I had never heard it until after the election. I sobbed. It is exactly the right message. “Progress is possible, not guaranteed, it will only be made if we keep marching, keep marching on.”
